introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...

BACKGROUND Studies have raised concern about an association between the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders in the offspring. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of all singleton live births in Denmark from 1996 through 2005 (626,875 births), with follow-up through 2009. Using Danish population registries, ...

objective: in order to evaluate the endometrium by ultrasound in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh) with clomiphene citrate (cc) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) with intrauterine insemination (iui) to determine the relationship between endometrial pattern and thickness on pregnancy rate (pr). methods: in this prospective study, 108 infertile couples underwent ...

the pregnancy results of 17337 inseminations carried out in a dairy herd near cairo over a period of 12 years were retrospectively analyzed in relation to environmental temperature and temperature-humidity index (thi). the overall average of pregnancy rates to all inseminations was significantly (p

background: recently, motile sperm organelle morphology examination (msome) criteria as a new real time tool for evaluation of spermatozoa in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles has been considered. objective: the aim was to investigate the predictive value of msome in in vitro fertilization (ivf) in comparison to icsi cycles and evaluation of the association between msome parameters...

background: many studies have been carried out to understand the effect of endometrial thickness on the reproductive outcome while the factors affecting the pattern itself are still unknown. objective: to determine the factors such as age and the number of follicles that could affect the endometrial thickness materials and methods: this study was conducted as a retrospective study on 680 infert...

This study examined a new method for vitrification of blastocysts that is safe, simple and easy to learn and use. Current vitrification techniques have shortcomings that include the use of dimethyl sulphoxide, one of the more toxic cryoprotectants, and minute containers that are difficult to handle and are usually open to contamination. Cell handling and loading times are very short, which allo...

Immature teratomas are quite rare tumors arising in young women. They are usually diagnosed in early stage and grade and have a good prognosis. In these young patients, fertility-sparing management is suggested as the standard of care. Bilateral immature teratoma is a rare condition with an incidence of 10%, with a five-year survival rate of 80%. The majority of patients received fertility-spar...
